1828. It was narrated that Qais bin Sa'd said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ enjoined Sadaqatul-Fitr upon us before (the command of) Zakât was revealed. When (the command of) Zakât was revealed, he neither ordered us (to pay) nor forbade us (from paying it), so we did it." (Sahih)
1828 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: «أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُنْزَلَ الزَّكَاةُ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ، لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا، وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا، وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ»

This Hadith apparently shows that giving Sadaqatul-Fitr is not obligatory; however, the collection of Sadaqatul-Fitr by Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and its distribution among the poor give emphasis that the legislation of rules of Zakât did not abrogate the obligation of Sadaqatul-Fitr.
